It was clear from a visit to our Winter Farmers’ Market in Rollinsford this past week-end that we’ve turned that corner in February when greenhouse greens begin to wake up — and what a joy they were to see, buy and cook with again! To see how we New Englanders eat locally during winter, here’s a glimpse of the market >

Loved the photo essay on the farmer’s market. That was certainly different from a Southern California farmer’s market this time of year. Sure, we have potatoes and garlic, but instead of hand-dyed yarn, wheat and locally raised pork, we have bison, fish, fresh strawberries, and citrus and greens galore. Bloom where you are planted and eat locally!

You New Englanders eat quite well during winter! (Everything looks good but loved the cute little weirdly-shaped carrots most.) Were those red wheat I spied with my little eyes stored in glass jars? Another question: are you guys on Twitter & Pinterest? If so, where? ps we have a few nice farmers markets in NY too, thankfully.
